20 weeks and ROUND!

Well hello there 30 week---oops I mean 20 week belly. Holy cow this has happened so fast this time! :) So we are officially 20 weeks along which would be halfway there, but luckily for us our c-section made the halfway point last week! :) I can't believe I still have 18/19 weeks left but time is flying so I hope that it continues that way after Christmas. I go to the doctor on Wednesday for my now every 3 week visits. I feel really good---no back pain, no cramps, no spotting---and I think I'm finally in a happy place with this no exercising nonsense. (Well as happy of a place as you can be when you just wanna run). I hope little man likes the stroller because this mama is going to be DYING to run by the time we are all healed from the c-section. Some may call me weird, but I totally miss sweating. I love him more though so I can do it. :) I'm also super emotional this pregnancy. The littlest thing can make me start to cry. I'm a pretty emotional girl to begin with, but I'm not a crier in my normal world. I'm blaming all the testosterone this little guy is making. :) I just feel bad for Mike who has to deal with it pretty much daily. Sorry bubs....this too shall pass.

So now onto our little MAN! He weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now and is 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and 10 inches long from head to heel. About the length of a banana. He is swallowing more these days and also producing meconium, which is a black sticky by-product of digestion, and will become his first dirty diaper. I can feel him kicking daily now and if Mike is lucky and fast enough he can now feel him on the outside as well. I forgot how magical it is to feel these first really strong movements. I've been feeling flutters since about 13 weeks but now he is definitely dancing inside there. 

What a blessing it is to be a mommy...

20 weeks 1 day! 

I hope you all have a fabulous week. I'll update this if anything fun happens at the doctors office but other then seeing the number on the scale I'm hoping there are no surprises. 

Love and Ava hugs,
